*5 Shot Taco Update* Recommendations for 1GR-FE Supercharger Tune near Sacramento

Toyota Dealership was a big joke. For the very first time in my life, I visited a dealership.
I told them to take care of three things:
1. 4WD does not work
2. Check engine light for P0332
3. Install OEM toyota ECM flash for the Supercharger

Two days later I get a voicemail that they wont work on a salvage vehicle because they cant warranty the work.

I call back and speak to someone who basically tells me the same BS. I tell the guy "I'll fix it myself, please just install the tune"

Service Tech calls me back and says "due to the over sized pulley (undersized) we cannot install the tune on here because these things blow up when they're over boosted (whatever).
Stock pulley I believe is 3". I have a 2.8" or 7% decrease in size.

Does anyone know where I can get a dyno tune near sacramento? This vehicle has never had a tune and the ECM is at whatever settings a stock naturally aspirated 1gr-fe is tuned to so it sounds like I might need the reflash and a tune? If someone could shed some more light on the subject, It would be appreciated.

 

Wait...what? Has this truck been running on an NA-tune while its been supercharged?

Or did you just finish installing the supercharger and 2.8 pulley just recently?

 

If you're going through the trouble of dyno tuning I would recommend HPTuners if you're looking for a tune that's going to be worth your while:

Then I'd contact @JustDSM to help you with the tuning.
I wish I was at the point of tuning with a supercharger.

Is the truck a salvage because it was shot 5 times?

 

No I have many vehicles. The most use this truck has seen since the supercharger install was a short 11 minute drive from my house to the dealership. Entirely under 2000 RPM and Zero driving under supercharger load.

I haven't heard good things from HP tuner. Anybody with a AFR and Dyno?

 

Yes it was salvaged because it was shot 5 times.

 

So if i understand you correctly, you've recently installed the trd blower and had the red 2.8 pulley pressed on right off the bat.....

Thats totally fine....

Instead of messing with the toyota dealership and debating with them the stability of the TRD supercharger tune, etc... I would recommend contacting @JustDSM and using HP TUNER to get you situated.

If you're opposed to using HPTuners, I can assist you with getting your ECU Flashed to TRD spec. I charge $95 for that service if sending me your ECU. Return shipping is included (USPS Priority).

I can also supply you a pre-tuned ECU for $400 so you can simply swap the new ECU in place of your original.

Let me know if I can be of assistance.

 

That is correct, sort of. The supercharger and pulley came off of a donor vehicle. Thanks for referring
